She Cut His Thumbs.

AN EPISODE OF SCHOOL LIFE IN THE BAY STATE.
Katy Ware began her career as schoolmarm at
Raynham, Mass, early last month. She taught
her pupils for ST week and boarded around
among the parents. 1t was not long before she
became very popular, and her first experience
promised to be great success, until last week
when she discovered that the desk OF Arthur
Lowell seven-year-old boy, had been badly

you so you viii never do it again" said Miss Ware
angrily: She took the knife away from the boy,
blade across both his thumbs until they bed
freely. The boys father had her arrested. She
came up In court at Taunton, and cried
and pleaded so effectively that the heart OF the
stern parent relented and she was allowed 60 on
paying costs. She rode away from Taunton one
afternoon In Mr.. LovellS wagon and held
the boy in her lap fondling those two sore thumbs
which had caused her so much trouble.

FATHER JEAN GIVEN A JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM FOR
100000.
Rev. Father F. C. Jean, OF Lyons, Clinton
county, Iowa, has been given judgment against
Bishop Hennessey, presiding bishop OF the diocese
In the sum Of 500, 600 for SANDER About fifteen
years ago Bishop Hennessey deposed Father Jean
from the priesthood Of st. Iren9us' parish OF
Lyons, also debarring him from becoming the
priest Of any other parish thus really taking from
him the means he had OF earning his livelihood
and also humbiing him In the eyes OF all the Cath
Ole world. The cause OF this deposition was IN
derstOod to have been an alleged misappropria-
ton OF funds. Suit was begun many years ago
and was at once thrown out OF court. This how
ever, is a new trial case, and Judgment was rem
dered In default OF the appearance OF the bishop
personally or by attorney. A motion TO set aside
will be heard later. The judgment is a perfect
surprise to the bishop and he refuses to speak
upon the subject until he has heard from his at

A Defaulting State Treasurer.


A decision was rendered by the supreme court
OF Arkansas Saturday in the case Of the state
against Thomas j. Churchill. It af1irms the de-
cision given months ago by Judge Carroll as to
the first and second bonds made by Gen. Church.
Ill, holding that the erasure OF certain names on
these bonds without the consent of the other
bondsmen rendered the bonds void. On the second
bond the suretieS will have to pay about $ss5 900.
Churchill in 1881 was found to have fallen short
in his accounts as state treasurer 1924, 900. The
matter has been in the courts since 1881. Among
the bOndSmen is Attorney General Garland.
A SPEAKER CHARGED WITH ILLEGAL VoTING.-In
the North Carolina house last Friday the bill to
appoint three railroad commissioners came up On
second reading. An effort was made to have the
commissioners elected by the people. This failed,
and the vote was tie at Sc votes on each side
sneaker Webster voted on the first rOll-call as a
member, and when the tie was announced he
claimed the right to vote again, and did vote to
pass the bill. When the rOll-call was first over it
was announced that the bill had passed by two
votes but this was mistake. 1t Is thought that
the speaker was guilty OF gross usurpation of
power In his desire TO have the bill passed. res
olution was introduced Saturday to declare the
speakers second vote nullity. Forty -four repub-
lcans and twelve democrats voted against the bill
and forty -four democrats and twelve republicans
for it.

A hill that Bid Not Meet Much Favor.
As stated In The STAR, the bill to define the
routes OF steam railroads In the District Of Column
bia, giving the Armory square for depOts, was up
before the District committee OF the House last
Thursday for consideration. The Commissioners
were present 10 defend the bill: the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad was represented by MeSSrS. COwan
and Douglas; the mort beast section of the city by
Mr.. W. c. Dodge and other citizens; the southwest
by Mr.. q. b. Church and others OF South Wash
1ngtOn.
The Baltimore and Ohio people wanted a differ
ent route from that proposed In the BILL they
would prefer TO enter the city at LIST east and
proceed south along that street. tunneling through
Capitol Hill and under the new Library building
Mr.. Dodge opposed this plan OF tunneling under
the Library building, but believed that his section
would agree to the main features OF the bill If
tain obstacles were removed which no doubt
could be done by next session OF Congress-
Mr.. e. B. Church, OF South Washington, was OPP
posed 10 giving Armory square for any such pur-
pose and said that whilst the bill does In meas
ure relieve the northeast section, 1t does not pro-
pose any relief To the southwest section In fact
it seemed To promise additional annoyanceS to the
people along the line OF Maryland and Virginia
avenues
The b. o. people denied that this would be the
case.
Mr.. Church said he had read the bill carefully,
and had arrived at this conclusion He then pro-
posed rs an amendment TO the bill the plan recon-
mended by the commissioners to Congress in 1881
which connects both roads at street southwest
and thence takes them along said street TO Water
street, and along Water street to the Long bridge,
giving To the railroads the right to occupy any
ground along said route for a passenger depot,
provided they pay for it.
Some OF the members Of the committee said that

Guided 10 lay the bill on the table for this session
